Spokane Area - Looff Carrousel & Clock Tower Area
GMAX Photoreal Scenery of the Looff Carrousel Area in downtown Spokane, WA USA
Trees created by EOD, remainder created in GMAX with DXT1 textures.
For Flight Simulator COG (FS9) ONLY
LAGO users: Download file Looffsnz.zip for authenic Looff Carrousel Ruth Organ music.
REQUIREMENTS:
1) A 38m mesh of the area - designed using the mesh available from FSFreeware, but others should work also. Without this items will float or sink to the point of invisibility.
I found some good free 38m mesh for the western US (including Spokane) at SurClaro - a freebie from fsgenesis.
At SurClaro, search for this file: fsgwst38.zip It's a free file, but quite large.
2) Grand Coulee scenery ( grand_coulee.zip) by Larry Silsbee. This scenery corrects the Spokane River throughout the Spokane area. Without this, it's going to look real funny. Placement of items will appear way off.
3) In your FS9.cfg ( x:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9\fs9.CFG ) the Terrain Max Vertex Level must be set at 21
4) Installation of my previous scenery for Spokane. File name: spokane1.zip (or spokane2.zip at SurClaro).
5) Installation of Gerrish Gray's trees v3
CONTENTS:
GMAX SCENERY (all with DXT1 textures):
1) Looff Carrousel (photoreal "characters" - horses, tiger & giraffe) - in their proper order in the Looff Carrousel line-up.
1a) Ruth Organ music for the carrousel is a separate download - looffsnz.zip - I did this to keep file sizes small
for download purposes.
2) Misc. buildings & walking bridges
3) Clock tower
INSTALLATION:
1) INSTALL MY PREVIOUS SPOKANE SCENERY PACK FIRST (SPOKANE1.ZIP OR SPOKANE2.ZIP - THEY ARE THE SAME)
2) Unzip this archive Looff.zip to a temporary folder.
After unzipping the archive, you will have X items:
3) Place the CONTENTS of the scenery folder into the scenery folder of my previous scenery.
4) Place the CONTENTS of the texture folder into the texture folder of my previous scenery. (overwrite if prompted)
5) Start Flight Sim and enjoy!
6) To see this scenery, "Create A Flight" departing Spokane International Airport ( KGEG - Spokane, WA, USA ) in your favorite aircraft and fly east over downtown Spokane. These files will NOT add Spokane to your "Search Add-on scenery" list.
